Seattle pays convicted pimp $150,000 to be its 'Street Czar' and come up with 'alternatives to policing' as he boasts he can talk to 'gangsters and prostitutes who won't sit down with anybody else'The level of idiocy necessary to think that this is a good idea is unfathomable.

He told the news outlet he is the man for the job because 'not too many people can go talk to gangbangers in their territory, and then go talk to the government in their territory.'
Taylor said he has 'particular genius in a particular area' and can talk to 'gang members, pimps and prostitutes' who 'won't sit down with anybody else,' reported KOMO News.

Mayor Jenny Durkan's office did not immediately return DailyMail.com's request for comment but told the Seattle Times the partnership would 'help de-escalate the ongoing situation' by allowing the city to tap into Taylor's 'lived experience with the criminal legal system'.
'The City's Department of Neighborhoods entered into a contract with Not This Time so that the organization could help de-escalate the ongoing situation in and around Cal Anderson Park,' spokesperson Kelsey Nyland said in the statement.
'The City sought a contract with Not This Time because of our existing working partnership... but also because of the organization's lived experience with the criminal legal system, and their history of successful advocacy and activism on issues of policing and dismantling systemic racism.'
The mayor's office said the city has also entered into similar contracts with other community groups.
Not This Time is also developing a program to support the mental health of black people leaving prison as they reintegrate into the community.
The nonprofit also worked with the city in 2019 on a $100,000 contract to host a speaker series called 'Conversation with the Streets'.
The latest partnership comes after Taylor spoke out publicly this year against the controversial CHOP zone, which started as a peaceful occupation of a police precinct before turning into the site of two deadly shootings.

In 2000, Taylor, whose own father was a pimp and his mother a prostitute, was convicted of seven prostitution-related counts and sentenced to five and a half years in prison.
The Las Vegas pimp was proven guilty of traveling across several state lines with an underage prostitute, who was 16 at the time.
Taylor allegedly lived in a $300,000 house and wore $4,000 Versace suits and a $90,000 Rolex while pimping out the girl and other adult women.
His escapades as 'Gorgeous Dre' were featured in the documentary 'American Pimp'.

Comment: It's likely that some callers are natural authoritarian snitches just waiting for the opportunity to wield a crumb of power, whilst others may be taking out their suffering, caused by what has essentially been over 8 months of lockdown conditions on their neighbours, perhaps thinking that 'the faster the coronavirus is dealt with, the faster we can get back to normal'; sadly, this warped thinking plays right into the Pathocrats hands:
